Chapter 82: Gao Bo's Ambition
Chapter 82: Gao Bo's Ambition
The FA Cup quarter-finals will be played on March 7, and until then, Gao Bo will focus on the league.
Now the team has two fronts in front of the team, one is the league and the second is the FA Cup. For Gao Bo, it would be best to win both events.
Winning the league title will be a tough task for Luton Town as they have recently won another back-to-back of victories, but they have not been able to close the gap on the top side.
Wycombe Rovers seem to be feeling the aggressiveness of their pursuers behind them, and their recent form has been excellent. A back-to-back win has kept them 10 points away from Luton Town.
Now, after 30 league games, Luton have climbed to fifth place on 52 points, one point behind fourth-placed Shakesbury, while Wycombe Rovers at the top of the table have 62 points, six points above second-placed Rochdale.
So for Luton, chasing points in the league is a very crucial task. There are still sixteen rounds left in the league, and to catch up with Wycombe Wanderers, Luton cannot afford to make any mistakes other than expecting Wycombe Rangers to lose at least three games in these sixteen rounds and draw one.
With the current state of Wycombe Wanderers, if they want to lose three games in the round of sixteen, they can only count on luck....
Gao Bo doesn't like to put his hopes in luck, but in the face of the current situation, he can only count on Wycombe Wanderers to capsize on their own. Fortunately, Luton Town still have a chance to face Wycombe Wanderers head-to-head, and that is in the 41st round, when the team will play Wycombe Wanderers at home. Hopefully, by winning this game, the team will be able to complete the comeback in the standings.
....
Due to the team's recent rise in England, several of Luton's main players are now seen by the media as prey to be targeted by the big clubs.
In fact, Gao Bo does not expect to be able to keep all the members of the team after the end of the season, Luton Town is only a small club after all.
Inside the office, boss David Morton sat across from Gao Bo.
"I did get offers from many teams!" Gao Bo looked through the window at the training ground not far away.
Led by strength and conditioning coach Mel, the team is doing physical recovery training.
"But I don't recommend the team to be an open supermarket of players, you should know how much Luton Town can benefit from promotion to the Premier League, even if they don't bring in reinforcements next season, with the current batch of players, it can be enough to be promoted to the Premier League." Gao Bo stood up, he looked at David Morton, who was about to speak, and said.
David Morton didn't know what Gao Bo meant. The Premier League is the most profitable league, and playing in the Premier League makes a lot more money than buying and selling players now.
"I... I need money now, Gao Bo. David Morton's eyes were a little dark, some time ago he still felt that he was the wolf of Wall Street, but during this time his investment failed, which made him lose a lot.
"You can choose to put the team on the market, David!" Gao Bo suggested, "Now the potential of the team can be seen by anyone, and if you go public, it may bring you a lot of money." ”
"Going public?" David Morton was a little hesitant.
"Yes, go public! Do you know Manchester United? Their boss can make a lot of money by going public! ”
"That's Manchester United!" David Morton doesn't have much faith in his team.
'If we play in the Europa League next season. Or even win the championship?! "Gao Bo painted a cake for the boss.
After almost a season, Gao Bo's goal is now clear.
He's going to be the best football coach ever! And to achieve this goal, it is natural to do great things that ordinary people can't do! Perhaps leading the team to win the FA Cup could make Gao Bo famous in English football, and it could also allow him to get some invitations from Premier League teams. But that's not enough!
Gao Bo knows that if he wants to get the attention of some real big teams, he can only win more crucial championships.
Led Luton to the Europa League? Gao Bo wants to try this!
If he can lead Luton to win the Europa League, it will definitely make Europa League history. Even if Luton Town succeeds in promotion next year, it will only be a team in the first division - the third division of England.
Leading the third tier of the league to win the Europa League, this goal, just thinking about it makes Gao Bo excited.
When Mourinho led Porto to win the Europa League, it is estimated that it is not as good as this!
"Europa League victory?!" David Morton is clearly unconvinced, "It's unlikely, how can we qualify for the Europa League?!" ”
"FA Cup!" Gao Bo said that Luton Town is the team he has put a lot of effort into, and no matter what, he will also make a name for himself in Luton!
"FA Cup win!!" Gao Bo said.
David Morton looked at Gao Bo in surprise, and from the eyes of his head coach, he saw ambition, vigorous ambition!
"Yes, think about it, David! If Luton Town win the FA Cup, the team's fame will definitely rise like a rocket, and the whole world will know about our team! That's the best time to get the team listed! "Gobo paints a picture of a great future for David Morton.
"Then next season, we win the Europa League again!" Gao Bo said categorically.
"Where is it that easy..."David Morton was frightened by Gao Bo's crazy plan.
"If it's not so crazy, where can you make a lot of money, David!!" Gao Bo grinned.
In the face of Gao Bo's undoubted self-confidence, David Morton also believes it inexplicably, but David Morton still has some doubts about the plan to win the Europa League next season.
"Is it just these people now?" David Morton asked.
"Of course not!" Gao Bo stood up, "We will continue to recruit next season!" ”
David Morton breathed a sigh of relief, even though the goal of winning the Europa League still sounded so crazy, but when he heard Gao Bo say this, he finally felt that the guy in front of him was not a complete lunatic.
"I don't have a lot of transfer money!" David hurriedly cried out.
"David, are you willing to gamble?" Gao Bo stepped forward, "Think about it, think about the prospect of winning the Europa League!" There are tens of millions of prize money and broadcast points in Europe alone, and there is a team that is really famous!! You know best how important reputation is in this world!! How much money will this get you! That's definitely not enough money to buy a multimillion-pound player now! ”
From next season, the UEFA Cup will be reorganized into the Europa League, and according to UEFA, the newly restructured Europa League will have more generous winning bonuses and more fierce competition...
Of course, Gao Bo knows that this is a fool's nonsense, no matter what, the Europa League is just a European competition living in the shadow of the Champions League, but in any case, the Europa League is also a European competition, don't treat the Europa League champion as the European champion...
David Morton was also a little moved by the prospect outlined by Gao Bo, but the American remained calm: "It's not that easy to win the FA Cup, my brother! ”
"You don't have to worry about that! David! Gao Bo stared into David Morton's eyes, "I'll make a bet with you!" David!! ”
"Bet .... What to bet on? ”
'If we win the FA Cup, I'll be in charge of the transfer money for next season. I need to sell one or two players to raise money to strengthen the squad next season, and the players have to be upgraded to their contracts. ”
David Morton thought about it, and this operation seems.... You can too!
Anyway, you don't have to pay a penny from him for the time being.
"Okay!! I've taken this bet! "David Morton made up his mind.
"Look, David, your team will be the European champions next season!"
In the face of the self-confident Gao Bo, David Morton was suddenly speechless....
Could it be that the common denominator of those illustrious people is their madness?
